...Or they'll get paid for actually performing, instead of benefitting for their entire lives from a dozen recordings, which would make sense. Assuming that's not covered under "all the time". If so, the GP's going a bit too far.
Internet broadcasts have been going on for a pretty long time now, and knowledgeable people have been using stream-capture programs to record them. The RIAA can bitch all they want, but there isn't a way to stop this without completely stopping the Internet broadcasts or implementing TC on an incredibly wide scale (to the extent it can block something like "redirect audio output to this location").
Some of the colleges in my region use a product called LearnKey that relies heavily on Flash both for instruction and examination, and it's horribly broken. I don't think it's so much a flaw with Flash itself as that the person who wrote the software was completely clueless, but I've yet to see a session with the software where at least two or three of its Flash portions didn't crap out or lock up. Especially on multi-part questions in the quizzes... "Hey, it wouldn't go to the next part of question X when I took the quiz. Can I do it over?"
Web masters and programmers alike: It's better for something to work well and be less flashy, than to be flashy and work like a piece of crap. Also, as this article shows, it's better to forego the "shiny" bits (whether audio or video) if it's going to annoy your viewers or customers.
I find it hard to believe a professional DJ wouldn't know about this already. They probably know the law and either 1. disagree with it or 2. don't care.
A great deal of fundamentalist Christians also believe in modern and future prophets, especially if you count the ones that are supposed to show up before the End Times. Last I checked, part of Falwell's faction (which in my opinion fits what you described) is even trying to start a "School of Prophecy".
As to whether or not things are supposed to be static after Revelations, there's contention. I figure it's more of a "move on to the next level" event, and that seems to be my church's position. A static existence is pointless.
I'm not sure if it's a federal law or one that most or all states have implemented, but people who file blatantly frivolous or meritless can usually be nailed in return. One guy who tried to sue Hustler because a picture "disappointed" him was fined $150,000.
Bitching about having to recompile your kernel and edit text files when you add a device in Linux is like bitching because Windows limits filenames to eight characters.
"The guy is known to have been an arms dealer in the past, but every day for a year the police see him carrying this thing which looks like a machine gun and every day the check it and find that it in fact isn't a machine gun."
Saddam kicked the UN inspectors out whenever they thought they were going to find anything. By the time they were ever able to search a building, the Iraqis had had months of time to remove anything that had been there. There were articles about that just about every month in the news, both online and on paper.
Bush also wasn't the only one who took military action towards Iraq. Clinton ordering bombings and missle strikes against targets plenty of times; he just didn't send in troops: http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/meast/9812/16/iraq.strike .03/
Note that his reasons behind them even included hindering Iraq from making "weapons of mass destruction".
Most of these applications are listed as in the K-menu in the box I'm using are listed by function first. For example: Web Browser (Firefox) and Advanced Text Editor (Kate). That eliminates pretty much all the confusion there, doesn't it?
If someone goes around carrying something covered-up that looks like a machine gun, refuses to show it to anyone when asked, and gets tackled by police and arrested, it's their own damn fault. Especially if it's someone that broke into a house a while back.
If someone avoids the field for idiotic and childish reasons likes the ones other posters are suggesting, the field doesn't need them. CS doesn't need people who are in it primarily for money instead of for the love of what they do, or who'll back off of it because "their coworkers are weird".
One poster in a previous story about this said that a female friend had told him she wouldn't take CS classes because "the room smelled bad". Do you really think she was interested and would've made a contribution to science if something that little could push her away?
"(although there is the question of how much of that is Bill and howmuch is his wife, although it should be noted that his mother was a philanderist)."
Normally I don't do the grammar-nazi thing, but confusion between these two words could get you shot someday. A "philanthropist" is someone who loves people and tries to help them...A "philanderer" is a slut.
"Because they are ADDICTED to the game; and in that sense, isn't it the game's fault? Regardless, the game IS involved, at least indirectly, in the person's death."
No. It's still the fault of the idiot who doesn't have the willpower to take care of himself. Blaming the game for that is like blaming cars or motorcycles when a speed junkie crashes into a wall doing 150 MPH. The vehicle was still "involved in his death", but the fault is his own.
Especially considering there are less than 120,000 libraries in the US...and that's including the ones in elementary and middle schools, which wouldn't have any need to carry it. There are less than twenty thousand actual "public libraries".
Windows Service Packs don't try to flash your BIOS as far as I know, which is what the original poster said did the hardware damage. If Microsoft has started releasing SPs that alter your BIOS, I strongly suggest you back off Windows immediately.
Doing that would also give the F/OSS products you bundled with the CD a very shady reputation, especially if someone slipped something nasty into one of them. You'd probably do more harm than good.
"Better yet, why not go with ReactOS, then the entire image will be Windows-compatible, will look like windows, and be 100% legal, and still more secure than Microsoft Windows out of the box."
From the ReactOS site: Please bear in mind that ReactOS is still in pre-alpha stage and is not recommended for everyday use.
ReactOS has a LONG way to go in the way of hardware support. I've tried to install it on three different computers and the installation has botched on every one. It'll be a nice alternative to WINE and Cedega emulation if it keeps going, but it'll take a while. Until then, I'll keep watching and occasionally attempting new installations.
The press, however, is the Government's main method of reporting things to the People (the only group that they answer to in any way). Just like I would have a responsibility to report the hypothetical incident to the proper authorities, the Government has a responsibility to report national threats to the People. It's arguable that they should delay reporting if it's likely to cause a national panic, but that seems moot as their reporting this did not cause one.
"In the EXTREMELY unlikely event that I were ever attacked (hasn't happened in the almost 30 years since I left jr. high for high school, millions of humans live their entire adult lives without ever being physically attacked or having their homes invaded once) either the attacker or myself would wind up dead in short order."
Well, that's nice for you, and I hope it stays that way. Both have happened to me, though, so I concern myself with it a bit more.

Not to mention its prevalence amongst both the vampire and vampire killer markets. Ever watch Blade III?

You're arguing against 1995.
Bitching about having to recompile your kernel and edit text files when you add a device in Linux is like bitching because Windows limits filenames to eight characters.
Blocking port 80 generally works. :)
No, no. You're supposed to say: My name is Sue! How do you do!? Now you gonna die!

It seems that it's "System" --> "Log out" now. Ah, well, it's been a while since I used Gnome.
Actually, you click on "Actions", then "Shut down", then "restart", "log out", or "shut down". That's pretty damn straightforward.

Most commandline programs are like that in both *Nix and DOS/Windows. I believe we're dealing with desktop applications here.
